San Antonio U.S. Rep. Chip Roy says he wants to ‘ethnic cleanse’ white progressives

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, a Republican whose district includes a swath of North San Antonio, called for the “cleansing” of progressives in a rant posted Friday on social media platform X. The GOP congressman, who’s made inflammatory comments part of his political brand, fired off the tweet in a defense of Trump’s plans to deport some 20 million migrants if elected president. Some on social media have said Trump’s plan amounts to ethnic cleansing.
